ETHICAL-METHODOLOGICAL CHALLENGES IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A DIALOGUE BETWEEN SCHOOL MATHEMATICAL EDUCATION AND THE BOI PINTADINHO DE MUQUI-ES

Abstract

This article, derived from a professional master's project of the Graduate Program in Science and Mathematics Education (Educimat) at the Federal Institute of Espírito Santo (Ifes), analyzes the application of a collaborative research methodology with the community of the Bois Pintadinhos de Muqui, Espírito Santo, tradition. The central objective is to discuss the challenge of reconciling academic ethical and methodological standards with an approach that values ​​and dignifies local knowledge, practices, and ways of being. The analysis presents the dilemma between adherence to academic norms and respect for community wisdom, highlighting the need for a sensitive methodology that ensures the representation of diverse knowledge. Based on a theoretical framework focused on decolonial and collaborative studies, the text articulates paths for constructing research that promotes the inclusion and legitimacy of multiple cultural perspectives, contributing to the democratization of knowledge.
